(2) In recent years, tablet press manufacturers have begun to attach importance to product quality and believe in the business philosophy of "winning by quality". The developed tablet press product has the characteristics of simple operation and convenient cleaning, especially when changing varieties.
(3) Low technology content and insufficient technological innovation. There are more than 40 pharmaceutical equipment enterprises in China that produce more than 60 kinds of tablet presses. Although new products are constantly introduced every year, there are very few varieties with high technical level and high added value. Repeated product development is serious and plagiarism is prevalent. In order to survive, many small pharmaceutical equipment enterprises not only adopt the strategy of "imitation" in technological innovation, but some manufacturers even rely entirely on copying other people's technologies as their own technological "innovation". In order to compete for orders, they often take the means of price reduction, because the brand loyalty is low, and after the price war, the losses of these brands will be even greater, which will inevitably lead to the overall retrogression of the design and manufacturing level of tablet press in China.
The vast majority of enterprises in China are private enterprises, which have no advantages in technology, equipment and talents, which seriously restricts the technological innovation of enterprises. Some enterprises lack R&D institutions, the innovation system is not perfect, technical personnel lack awareness of technological innovation, the overall technical strength of enterprises is not strong, and the update speed of scientific research and production technology and equipment is very slow. The most noteworthy thing is that the scientific and technological talents in the whole industry are in the stage of "green and yellow". It can be said that the talent crisis is spreading throughout the industry.
The gap between our tablet press and developed countries is still widening. High-speed, high-yield, sealing, modularization, automation, large-scale and advanced detection technology are the most important development directions of tabletting technology abroad. Advanced tablet presses are basically in Europe and America, such as FETTE and KORSCH in Germany, MANESTY in Britain, COURTOY in Belgium and STOKES in the United States. Its products are highly automated and meet the requirements of FDA and 21cfrpart11.
(1) High speed and high output. High speed and high yield is the goal pursued by tablet press manufacturers for many years. The output of tablet press of major tablet press manufacturers is 6.5438+0 million tablets per hour. The highest output of ModulD tablet press produced by Courtoy Company is 6.5438+0.07 million tablets/h; The maximum output of 4090i tablet press produced by Fete Company is 6.5438+0.5 million tablets/h. Its output is much higher than that of domestic tablet press. If domestic tablet press wants to catch up with and surpass foreign countries in speed output, it needs to make great progress in tablet press design innovation, processing technology and automatic control. (2) The sealing of tabletting process and the isolation of people flow. The input and output of foreign tablet press are very closed, so as to minimize cross-contamination. Particles used for tabletting enter the hopper through a closed hopper and a closed conveying system. Take effective measures to prevent dust flying and particle delamination during tabletting. The tablet enters the packaging process through screening, in-film detection and metal detection, and the whole process is quite closed. However, the tabletting process of most domestic tabletting machines is open or not fully enclosed, and the crushing process causes dust flying between tabletting rooms.
